Am I reading this right? This is a call for the core development team, who are core to progress of the language, to resign due to things that are not related to the quality of their output? If so, who exactly will develop the language further?
- wongarsu 5y agoThe core team is described as "Managing the overall direction of Rust, subteam leadership, and any cross-cutting issues". I think the criticism covers all of those responsibilities quite well. As to who will develop the language further: In terms of code contributions, none of the current team members even make the top 20 in the main rust repo. For everything else the author makes it sound like the core team acts selfish in ways that prevents others from contributing, so it could well be that there were more contributors if the core team wasn't there. I can't judge that, but it seems like the community will have to decide if the core team is more of a help or a hindrance.
